Woody Harrelson is urging Hollywood to get rid of the Covid protocols that he calls “nonsense” and “absurd.”
In an interview with New York Times Magazine to talk about his new movie Champions, Harrelson said he enjoyed doing indie movies but wasn’t sure about the mandates on sets.

“Now to get an indie done? Especially with all the Covid protocols — which, to me, are rather absurd. I don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said.

The reporter asked the True Detective alum why he thought the protocols were absurd with the actor adding, “The fact that they’re still going on! I don’t think that anybody should have the right to demand that you’re forced to do the testing, forced to wear the mask and forced to get vaccinated three years on. I’m just like, Let’s be done with this nonsense.”

Harrelson said he was more concerned about the crew that works on film sets as he is able to get out of the mandates.

“It’s not fair to the crews,” he continued. “I don’t have to wear the mask. Why should they? Why should they have to be vaccinated? How’s that not up to the individual? I shouldn’t be talking about this [expletive]. It makes me angry for the crew. The anarchist part of me, I don’t feel that we should have forced testing, forced masking and forced vaccination. That’s not a free country.”

Harrelson reiterated, “Really I’m talking about the crew. Because I can get out of wearing a mask. I can test less. I’m not in the same position they’re in, but it’s wrong. It’s three years. Stop.”

The actor ended by saying that “as an anarchist, I don’t do well with mandates.”

Harrelson’s comments come as he made a controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live where he made anti-vax remarks that divided viewers.

I work at Kennedy Space Center and last week I worked in the VAB, there was a crew getting ready to shoot a film that's gonna star Woody Harrelson, Ray Romano and Scarlot Johanson. I think they started shooting Monday but I'm not working in the VAB this week. It's gonna be a romantic comedy based during the 60s space race. Sounds like a flop. They delivered a bunch of old 60s vehicles over a week ago.

Probably because there are liberals and conservatives that are against the vaxx , which means only some fall under their label of nazi, do anarchist is their next label of choice.
He self identifies as an anarchist.

Occasionally I'll spend some time watching the sausage making on Cspan. My tendency towards that identity increases proportionally.

There are no protocols to deal with in my daily life. No masks in doctors offices.
One old couple at church continue to mask. Which is fine.

I think back to a middle school volleyball game I attended a couple years ago. The sro had a box of masks at the door. "You must wear one to enter".
I complied. Rounded the corner into the gymnasium, maybe 10% were still wearing their "required" mask. Mine came off too.

I guess flyover regions are immune to the referenced protocols.

Woody made it clear, he could "get around" the mandates. Those workers he referred to could do the same if they had the desire.

TRUTH
as could the ENTIRETY of AMERICA if they would simply say NO! and then DID NOT COMPLY

the number one difficulty for genus ”Sheeple Americanus” is their inability to present as a UNITED FRONT beyond the next sports ball event, followed by their REFUSAL to enter the arena with the attitude of
TAKE THE FIELD
and

It’s ridiculous to still have this protocol on set. A family member of mine is a prop master. He gets tested every other day while on set. And if he gets a false positive, he can’t return to set until he’s passed multiple tests. He’s definitely drinking the kook aid though. All boosted up. It really makes me sad.

I have a family member that does "hands on" patient care at a teaching hospital.

This person never took a jab. I was told they stopped testing employees early on.

Way earlier than I would have ever imagined.

Still working...

I'm sure some people actually lost a job. Honestly, I don't know any.

Mentioned in another thread, I have someone close to me that joined the national guard. They were told they wouldn't get a basic training date without the jabs. They were hesitant but took jab 1.

Fast forward a month and they're told they don't need to be fully jabbed to go to basic. So everyone now knows this person is partially compliant.

I suspect further coercion will happen over choice schools later.

Vacillating ain't cool...

Does anyone know how many shots they would be up to now if they followed the CDC guidance on boosters? What’s the highest number of boosters you’ve heard of?

Maybe, maybe not. It's a lot harder to replace Woody than it is Key Grip #5.
No doubt about that. Lol

But key grip #5 could get another job. Obviously not in his line of work.

From the start my coworkers and I had almost a unified front, we weren't taking them. ( one guy took it early on because he couldn't bear the thought of not tasting beer :rolleyes:)

I know lots of people but I don't know anyone in any field that actually lost a job.

Granted. I don't know everyone's jab status but I would think I would have heard if someone got axed.

My personal recollection may be unique.
Do you know anyone that actually got fired?

Well, so could Woody. Woody could get a job tending bar; I understand he has something like experience in that vein.

I do not know anyone who actually got fired. I knew one gal, a nurse and a single mother. She had been laid off not long before Covid started.

I doubt Woody has to work at this point in his career. Probably why he’s not too worried about any repercussions from speaking out.
 


Tim Robbins Backs Woody Harrelson in Opposing Hollywood Vaccine Mandates: ‘Time to End This Charade’​

Hollywood star Tim Robbins has backed Woody Harrelson’s opposition to vaccine mandates and other on-set COVID protocols, saying it is “time to end this charade.”

The Shawshank Redemption star tweeted his support of a recent New York Times interview in which Woody Harrelson called for an end to “forced testing, forced masking, and forced vaccination.”

“Woody is right. Time to end this charade,” Robbins tweeted Thursday.

In the Times interview, Harrelson said” “I don’t think that anybody should have the right to demand that you’re forced to do the testing, forced to wear the mask and forced to get vaccinated three years on. I’m just like, let’s be done with this nonsense. It’s not fair to the crews. I don’t have to wear the mask. Why should they? Why should they have to be vaccinated? How’s that not up to the individual? I shouldn’t be talking about this [expletive].”

Harrelson said it’s been three years since the start of the pandemic and it’s time to “stop” with all the mandates. “As an anarchist, I don’t do well with mandates,” he said.

Harrelson was echoing opinions he recently voiced on NBC’s Saturday Night Live when, during his opening monologue, he referred to the pharmaceutical industry as “the biggest drug cartels” that bought up the news media and politicians to force people to take their vaccines.
Watch below:

This isn’t the first time Tim Robbins has come out against forced COVID protocols.

As Breitbart News reported, the actor recently admitted he was wrong to have “bought into” the establishment narrative surrounding forced masking and lockdowns.

and BOTH of these guys are whacko Hollywoke Libtards!

Also at the end of their careers, have gobs of money, and have the ear of many.

Meh...doesn't mean a hill of beans.

It will be interesting to see the narrative shift. Movies need a really GOOD summer season. An even stronger holiday season might get them out of the fire back into the frying pan.

All of these actors have production companies that fund a lot of content. The industry has already lost a lot of good, behind the scene production people retire or move on to something else because of covid and the vax mandate handed down by the various guilds.

Here's a video without all the production people in place. Great song too!

Usually, they just call you a racist if you don't agree with communism. How does Woody get away with NOT being called a racist? They are calling Bill Maher a racist now because he's discussed the covid virus escaping the lab. Now, I do love that the left are eating their own people. That's just wonderful! We need the left to be more cannibalistic...and the Lord exposing them.
 
and MORE! from Woody . . .



Nolte: Woody Harrelson Blasts Hollywood ‘Covid Protocols’ In New York Times — ‘Let’s Be Done with This Nonsense’​

Woody Harrelson ripped into Hollywood’s “Covid protocols” in an interview with the far-left New York Times.

Unlike a lot of Hollywood activists who went from anti-war to pro-war with Ukraine, from anti-censorship to pro-censorship by joining the woke fascists, and from my body-my choice to anti-choice with these China flu protocols and mandates, Woody Harrelson is actually remaining consistent to what he calls his “anarchist” belief structure.

While discussing his upcoming movie Champions with the Times, Harrelson seemed eager to share his opinion on the absurdity of these ongoing, anti-science Covid protocols the entertainment business still has in place — as eager as he was to share it over the weekend with the Saturday Night Live audience. When asked about the status of the mid-budget movie in a cinematic world filled with spandex, he said: “Now to get an indie done? Especially with all the Covid protocols — which, to me, are rather absurd. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

The Times followed up with: “What’s absurd about the Covid protocols?” — and Harrelson was off:
The fact that they’re still going on! I don’t think that anybody should have the right to demand that you’re forced to do the testing, forced to wear the mask and forced to get vaccinated three years on. I’m just like, Let’s be done with this nonsense. It’s not fair to the crews. I don’t have to wear the mask. Why should they? Why should they have to be vaccinated? How’s that not up to the individual? I shouldn’t be talking about this [expletive]. It makes me angry for the crew. The anarchist part of me, I don’t feel that we should have forced testing, forced masking and forced vaccination. That’s not a free country. Really I’m talking about the crew. Because I can get out of wearing a mask. I can test less. I’m not in the same position they’re in, but it’s wrong. It’s three years. Stop.
The Times responded with this psycho-babble: “[A] big lesson of the pandemic is that it turns out most of us are pretty bad at rationally assessing risk and at handling one another’s different comfort levels with risk.”

Oh, yeah, that was the “big lesson” about the pandemic. That was everyone’s big takeaway. Not how the fascist government will exploit a pandemic to strip Americans of their basic rights. No, the big takeaway was, “we’re pretty bad at blah, blah, comfort levels, blah blah.”

Anyway, Harrelson responded to that with, “Yeah, anyway, as an anarchist, I don’t do well with mandates.”
When asked to elaborate, Harrelson was happy to oblige:
I’m not a pure anarchist, for sure. I’m more of an anarchist/Marxist/capitalist/redneck hippie. But government is always in the hands of big business. It’s like big businessmen working for bigger businessmen. There are exceptions. A friend of mine, after Trump was elected, said, “I’ve got to do something.” So he did. He got elected to Congress in a district in Minnesota where they hadn’t had a Democrat in office in quite a long time. Dean Phillips is his name. That guy is pure. He really cares. So I’m recognizing that there are those people out there, but in my life I don’t look at authority with great fondness. It just feels like the government’s never like, Hey, can I lend you hand? Even the social programs they do are begrudging, and they’re constantly trying to nick money out of it. Do you see the government really reaching out a hand to the little fellow? No. Especially the United States government. I look at the United States government as fascism with a smiley face.
Don’t get too excited. Harrelson isn’t red-pilled or anything. He still dislikes Reagan, voted for Biden, and remains an enviro-nut:
Reagan, the great communicator? This guy was awful! I started seeing it for what it was. I started understanding the ecological impact of things, the heavy footprint of the beast, as I call it. All these various industries that are raping Mother Earth, getting giant tax breaks. I started getting that this is how the world actually works and that being a Republican ain’t going to help things. Being a Democrat ain’t going to help either. I did vote for Biden though, just because.
But at least he’s not selling out his core principle in the same way pretty much everyone else in Hollywood has. I respect principles in everyone, but you really have to respect that coming from a guy hoping to continue to work in a fascist industry where conformity is not an option. Tim Robbins also deserves credit.
 


Tilda Swinton Is Latest Hollywood Star to Rebel Against COVID Protocols: ‘I Was Told to Wear a Mask … and I’m Not’​

Tilda Swinton is the latest Hollywood start to rebel against COVID protocols, saying she will refuse to wear a mask on her next movie shoot.
Speaking this week at the SXSW Festival in Austin, the Scottish actress said she doesn’t intend comply with film industry standards on masks, adding that she is “very healthy” even after multiple COVID-19 infections in the past three years.

“I’m about to shoot a picture in Ireland, and I was told to wear a mask at all times, and I’m not,” she said, according to multiple reports.

Swinton’s refusal comes after actor Woody Harrelson recently blasted Hollywood COVID protocols in an interview with the New York Times.
“I don’t think that anybody should have the right to demand that you’re forced to do the testing, forced to wear the mask and forced to get vaccinated three years on. I’m just like, Let’s be done with this nonsense,” he said.

“It’s not fair to the crews. I don’t have to wear the mask. Why should they? Why should they have to be vaccinated? How’s that not up to the individual?”

Actor Tim Robbins later voiced his support for Harrelson.
“Woody is right. Time to end this charade,” Robbins tweeted last week.

SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher has repeatedly called for an end to COVID vaccine mandates, calling them an infringement on basic liberties.

Does anyone know how many shots they would be up to now if they followed the CDC guidance on boosters? What’s the highest number of boosters you’ve heard of?
A dear friend of mine is up to her fifth booster shot.
She is a high level administrator at a San Francisco Bay Area university.
They no longer mask up in her office area.
A co-worker came into work with a low grade fever last Thursday, exposed the entire office staff.
The i l l person tested on Friday, was positive for Covid.
My friend tested positive Sunday.
Five days mandatory home isolation and negative test to return to work.
She is taking paxlovid (?).
Anyhow she is looking forward to taking her sixth booster.
She believes the boosters have kept her safe these past three years.

I thought the idea of making Hollywood liberals boost themselves ad infinitum in order to sign contracts to pretend kiss and swan on set amongst each other was just fine. Sort of like a petrie dish, closed aquarium to adult swim in, like pornos.
